Electronut Labs Blip
####################

Overview
********

Zephyr applications use the nrf52840_blip board configuration
to run on Electronut Labs Blip hardware. It provides
support for the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 ARM Cortex-M4F CPU and
the following devices:

* :abbr:`ADC (Analog to Digital Converter)`
* CLOCK
* FLASH
* :abbr:`GPIO (General Purpose Input Output)`
* :abbr:`I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)`
* :abbr:`MPU (Memory Protection Unit)`
* :abbr:`NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller)`
* :abbr:`PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)`
* RADIO (Bluetooth Low Energy and 802.15.4)
* :abbr:`RTC (nRF RTC System Clock)`
* Segger RTT (RTT Console)
* :abbr:`SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)`
* :abbr:`UART (Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter)`
* :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)`
* :abbr:`WDT (Watchdog Timer)`

More information about the board is available at https://github.com/electronut/ElectronutLabs-blip.

Hardware
********

Blip has two external oscillators. The frequency of
the slow clock is 32.768 kHz. The frequency of the main clock
is 32 MHz.

Supported Features
==================

The nrf52840_blip board configuration supports the following
hardware features currently:

+-----------+------------+----------------------+
| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component |
+===========+============+======================+
| ADC | on-chip | adc |
+-----------+------------+----------------------+
| CLOCK | on-chip | clock_control |
+-----------+------------+----------------------+
| FLASH | on-chip | flash |
+-----------+------------+----------------------+
| GPIO | on-chip | gpio |
+-----------+------------+----------------------+
| I2C(M) | on-chip | i2c |
+-----------+------------+----------------------+
| MPU | on-chip | arch/arm |
+-----------+------------+----------------------+
| NVIC | on-chip | arch/arm |
+-----------+------------+----------------------+
| PWM | on-chip | pwm |

Connections and IOs
===================

LED
---

* LED1 (green) = P0.13
* LED2 (green) = P0.14
* LED3 (green) = P0.15

Push buttons
------------

* BUTTON1 = SW1 = P1.07
* Reset = SW5 = P0.18 (can be used as GPIO also)

UART
----

BMP does not support hardware flow control, so only RX/TX pins are connected.

* TX = P0.6
* RX = P0.8

I2C
---

I2C pins connected to onboard sensors:

* SDA = P0.12
* SCL = P0.11

SPI
---

* SCK = P0.25
* MOSI = P1.02
* MISO = P0.24

Microsd is connected to these pins, and CS pin is connected to P0.17.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

Applications for the ``nrf52840_blip`` board configuration can be
built and flashed in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application`
and :ref:`application_run` for more details); The onboard Black Magic
Probe debugger presents itself as two USB-serial ports. On Linux,
they may come up as ``/dev/ttyACM0`` and ``/dev/ttyACM1``. The first
one of these (``/dev/ttyACM0`` here) is the debugger port.
GDB can directly connect to this port without requiring a GDB server by specifying
``target external /dev/ttyACM0``. The second port acts as a
serial port, connected to the SoC.

Flashing
========

Applications are flashed and run as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

First, run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.

.. code-block:: console
$ minicom -D <tty_device> -b 115200
Replace :code:`<tty_device>` with the serial port of Black Magic Probe.
For example, under Linux, :code:`/dev/ttyACM1`.

Then build and flash the application in the usual way.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: nrf52840_blip
:goals: build flash

Debugging
=========

Debug and attach configurations are available using Black Magic Probe, and
``ninja debug``, or ``ninja attach`` (or with ``make``) are available.

NOTE: You may need to press the reset button once after using ``ninja flash``
to start executing the code. (not required with ``debug`` or ``attach``)


Testing the LEDs and buttons in the nRF52840 PDK
************************************************

There are 2 samples that allow you to test that the buttons (switches) and LEDs on
the board are working properly with Zephyr:

* :ref:`blinky-sample`
* :ref:`button-sample`

You can build and flash the examples to make sure Zephyr is running correctly on
your board. The button and LED definitions can be found in :file:`boards/arm/nrf52840_blip/nrf52840_blip.dts`.
